      He didn’t do anything besides tap into all the bigoted lies that white Americans have been told over the course of their lives - a combination of the racism that is imbued in most of them from birth and the mangled Zionistic, Judeo-Christian prosperity crap that brings a deluded sense of duty, purpose and certainty to tens of millions of Americans. It’s very easy to blame Trump but he only built on existing mythological structures.
